ČRo Plus I Czech president named one of the most influential European personalities of the year by Politico

The Brussels daily Politico named Petr Pavel one of the most important European political figures of the year. Our senior researcher Vít Havelka commented on the reasons for this designation.

"Petr Pavel has only been in office for a year, but on the other hand he has been present on the transatlantic line for a long time. He was the head of the NATO military committee, which is definitely a position that is taken very seriously within the Euro-Atlantic area and is well known to Western politicians."
